## From Risk to Resilience: Financing the Future of Agricultural Supply Chains

Action is needed to tackle the fragmented and conflicting efforts that hinder attempts to reduce deforestation and protect the social and economic benefits that forests provide. TFA’s latest report entitled “From Risk to Resilience: Financing the Future of Agricultural Supply Chains” describes the nature of that challenge and introduces a new due diligence model that can help banks and other stakeholders to channel their efforts towards more positive outcomes.This standardized due diligence model was developed in consultation with over 20 stakeholders representing the financial sector, supply chain companies and civil society actors. It provides a practical tool designed to:Standardize and harmonize processes by establishing a common core of questions and expectations;Enhance credibility through improved transparency and comparability;Enable interoperability across markets, commodities, and geographies;Streamline due diligence to accelerate the provision and access to finance.Our aim is for our model to support banks and other stakeholders to go beyond compliance, manage risk proactively, unlock opportunities, and support resilient, future-focused businesses.Next steps: While the current version reflects extensive feedback from a broad range of stakeholders, genuine standardization will only emerge through widespread dissemination, use and continued refinement. We invite you to disseminate this workbook widely and share your feedback with us at tfa@weforum.org.  Note: all feedback will be treated confidentially.The TFA team is also available to provide deep dive webinars to bring the content of the report and due diligence model to life within the context of your organization or sector.

## Our work with financial institutions

TFA’s finance initiatives address both the risks posed by deforestation and the opportunities for sustainable land use and commodity production. This includes complementary initiatives that focus on reducing risk for institutional investors, and catalysing opportunities to intensify sustainable production in key commodity-producing biomes.


## Key initiatives include:

The Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD), and the Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC).


## The Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD)

The Investor Policy Dialogue on Deforestation (IPDD) is an investor-led sovereign engagement initiative that aims to undertake discussion with government-related authorities, and wider stakeholders, to halt deforestation in some of the world’s most biodiverse, carbon-absorbing biomes.As of January 2025, IPDD was supported by 84 financial institutions, from 21 countries, representing approximately US$11 trillion in assets under management.

Innovative Finance for the Amazon, Cerrado and Chaco (IFACC) is an initiative of The Nature Conservancy, TFA and the United Nations Environment Programme. It aims to significantly increase and accelerate lending and investment in sustainable agriculture in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. IFACC’s goal is to mobilize US$10 billion in commitments and disbursements by 2030 by bringing together leading companies, banks and investors who collaborate to meet the need for transitional finance in the production of beef, soy, and other agricultural products without further deforestation or conversion.As of December 2025, IFACC has 26 signatories who have collectively disbursed approximately $954 million.Access the IFACC Knowledge Hub:
